Cradle of the Gods Graphic Novel Collector’s Edition
All Hands on Deck! Cradle of the Gods Launches on Kickstarter Today
A limited Collector’s Edition. One chance to own it!
Hello everyone, and welcome back to our exclusive “Insiders Info” interview series, where we share with you unique insights into FunPlus, FunPlus People, and our Games!
This time, we want you to know more about Cradle of the Gods, the pirate saga created by Studio Ellipsis. It started online, and today it is a stunning Collector’s Edition.
Cradle of the Gods started as a digital comic series: ten chapters, released online, and followed by a community of readers who came for the sea monsters and stayed for the friendships.
For a long time, that was enough. Still, the world that Studio Ellipsis built, with the cursed waters, the forgotten myths, the three friends who had absolutely no business sailing into any of it, always felt like it deserved something more permanent… and today, it gets exactly that!
The Cradle of the Gods Kickstarter is officially live, and we at FunPlus couldn’t be prouder to help bring it to the world.
A Kickstarter exclusive Collector’s Edition will also be offered that will include the graphic novel in a brown faux-leather hardcover, protective slipcase, and wraparound cover art.
Here’s what you will find inside:
The complete 200-page main story — all ten chapters, together for the first time in print
Ricky’s Retirement — an exclusive, brand-new 20-page story that has never been published anywhere. (Ricky, retire? We’ll believe it when we see it.)
Rich lore, artist interviews, and behind-the-scenes content — for readers who want to go deeper into the world of the Dead Seas
Premium faux-leather hardcover with protective slipcase
Limited original art rewards — including original sketches and commissions by Simone D’Armini, available in very limited quantities
This is the only way to get the Collector’s Edition. It’s a Kickstarter exclusive, limited print run. So, no second printing, no second chance. The tides don’t wait, and neither should you!
If you’ve never sailed these waters before, here’s what you need to know.
Cradle of the Gods follows three childhood friends — Cecily, Lavender, and Henry — as they set out across the Dead Seas on a journey to find the mythical Cradle of the Gods.
Cecily is the kind of leader who’d sail into a storm before asking anyone to follow.
Lavender is the heart of the crew — quietly carrying more than anyone around her realises.
And Henry? Henry is the wildcard. The wisecracker. The one you’d least expect to save the day and most expect to have caused the problem.
What starts as a search for legend becomes something far more dangerous: a reckoning with ancient gods, rival crews, cursed waters, secret societies, sea monsters, and witches.
Bonds of friendship tested to their limit.
Cradle of the Gods: written by Eisner-nominated duo Ethan S. Parker & Griffin Sheridan, and brought to life by a world-class roster of artists: Simone D’Armini, Mike Hawthorne, Eduardo Mello, Mario Del Pennino, and Riccardo La Bella. Artists who’ve worked on Star Wars, Batman, Deadpool, and more.
We’re a new game studio based in Lisbon, Portugal. We believe the most meaningful worlds are discovered by people who care enough to look deeper. Studio Ellipsis exists to create worlds that reward curiosity, that reveal themselves over time, and that grow alongside the communities who find them.
Comprised of veterans of Assassin’s Creed, Destiny 2, Little Nightmares II, and many more, our vision includes bringing talent together to create something fresh and exciting.
Join us on our journey; the real adventure’s only just beginning…
